Famous Double Skinned Steamed Egg Pudding 招牌雙皮燉奶 HK$21

Hong Kong is desserts heaven. There are so many good and different desserts to choose from, one is really spoilt for choice. If I’m made to choose only one dessert shop in Hong Kong, I will pick Yee Shun Milk Company (港澳義順牛奶公司). Over and over again. The steamed puddings are very light, so they are perfect for after-meal desserts or supper. I feel healthy eating these.

Known for their signature steamed (or some call them stewed) egg pudding in two films (pictured above), it was love at first try for me. The thick milky favour and the silky smooth texture is to-die-for, I’ve not tasted anything like it before. You can choose hot or cold for the steamed milk puddings.

As you dig into the dessert, the special piece of film on the top surface clings and slips off your spoon delicately.

The texture is unbelievably silky smooth and fine.

Besides the signature steamed milk, they have other favours to choose from (such as chocolate, coffee, ginger).

I love the mild ginger spiciness and warmth of this favour. Can’t decide if I like the ginger or signature steamed egg version more.

Yee Shun Milk Company Logo

I love the Yee Shun logo design. It looks appealing while at the same time, retains the traditional feel which is suitable for the type of business and the food they serve. And they are masters at branding, because you can see the logo embossed everywhere.

On the spoon.

On the toothpick holder and toothpicks packets.

On the serviette. Ok, you get the idea.

Some late night snack we ordered one of the nights. It was some grilled pork chop. I find the meat tough, although quite fragrant.

I love the double-skinned milk pudding at Yee Shun! It’s my favorite steamed milk pudding anywhere! I was a little annoyed when they raised the prices; I still remember a time when one bowl was just $17 or $18.

Australia Milk Company also serves steamed milk pudding, but I find Yee Shun’s to be richer in flavor, with more of that fresh milk taste. However, the toast/bread and scrambled eggs at Australia are to die for! In contrast the toast at Yee Shun is terrible.

It’s really a bowl to die for. I had it everyday and only Yee Shun is the best – not overly sweet. Does anyone know how to make the “dun dan”? It’s HK$18 per bowl (plain’s the way I like my steamed egg).

Hi i just discovered your food blog while looking for recipes for Chinese soups. Now while waiting to reap the result of shark fin melon soup I am browsing the other pages of your blog and the pic of egg pudding caught my eyes! O I just love this one you recommended! I have not tasted anything close to this in S’pore! I remembered having a serving daily during my last visit to Hong Kong & Macau. If you do know of any place that serves relatively similar pudding in S’pore, please share the details with me cos I won’t be going Hong Kong in near future. A side note, your recipes and reviews are very handy and helpful to a stay home mom like me who has to whip up wholesome meals in least elaborate steps. Keep it up: )
